SOLD
22" Ideal Toy Corp.  (1951-1952) Rare Early Issue 22"Saucy Walker Doll This doll walks like a dream.  Dr. Hubby never lets them go until they do walk like a new doll.

Comes with a new Kaiser Doll stand, replica hang tag, and her own original box, two pairs of vintage original shoes and one pair of expensive custom made duplicate shoes, Two vintage dresses, the one we bought her in and the other one is an original of an Early Issue 22" Saucy Walker Doll dress shown on the Hang tags.  Her hair is almost black, extremely rare and she has dark blue eyes. She is all original body and face with no painting, just light sanding to bring out the softness in her surface and her arms have been re-strung with our surgical elastic cord tubing and her head is attached with a metal rod instead of the band as Early Issue Saucy Walkers all had the metal rod connection at first.   Dr. Hubby mentioned that she was the cleanest older doll he has ever seen on the inside.  Her Crier works very Loud and often!! HA!  I felt bad the whole time we worked on her and kept saying Awwwww. So sad.

One of her dresses with the bonnet and the wrist ornament was what was on her when we purchased her.  It seems to have fit her alright but Lois, our seamstress (toniwear@aol.com)thought it to be too large possibly and we decided to have Lois make her a duplicate of the original Early 22" Saucy Walker dress as you see her wearing. The replica dress is made out of gorgeous material.  Look closely at the photos. The original dress came with panties which came on all of the earlier 22" Saucy Walkers instead of Onesie's.  She has a replica Onesie under the white dress however.  The original panties need elastic on them.  Both dresses need a little bit of iron on tape so we will leave that up to her new Mommy.  The pink vinyl shoes was on her as well.  The custom made shoes are created by the best Doll Shoe Cobbler Online:  Michele with (http://thisolddoll.com)

As you can see this doll's original box still has the inserts for the head and the feet and the original tissue paper. It is so clean, I have never seen one that looks that new.  The reason I am placing everything she came with on the side in this sale is because I am thinking since the box is so new and the doll was so very clean, someone out there who had to give her up may want her back and will recognize her immediately.  They had to have taken such good care of her.  A few of her hair strand from the factory are thick as if the machine did not split them into smaller strands.  I have left those on there and have a photo of one of them.  Her wig is in excellent condition to be approximately 58 years old.  Since her box is so clean and shows the vinyl shoes on the front, I am under the determination that Ideal had a few of these Early Issue 1951 dolls left over and placed the vinyl shoes on the doll possibly, only a guess. Somewhere in the back of my first thoughts is that this doll belonged to one of the Factory workers or even the Ideal family because she was so different.  I have yet to see hair that dark on a 22" Saucy Walker. 

Her eyes have been polished and are excellent like factory installed almost.  We applied our preventative platforms to keep them from ever sinking nor rolling and they slide from side to side so very easily.
